Maskne is a Growing Concern as COVID-19 Spikes Again

(Newswire.net — November 10, 2020) Clearwater, FL —  In response to the uptick in COVID cases, several US cities and European Governments have imposed another shutdown and made wearing masks mandatory again. Mask wearing has indeed been proven to slow the spread of the virus, but there are drawbacks.

One unpleasant side effect is what skin experts are calling Maskne – a type of acne medically known as Acne Mechanica.  This acne occurs due to friction and pressure on the skin.

Maskne breakouts are readily recognizable – they occur only in the areas of the face covered by a mask. The combination of sweat and oil trapped under the mask can clog pores and facilitate the growth of bacteria, which can lead to blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples.

One factor not often recognized in Maskne sufferers is that chronic inflammation in the body is an underlying contributor to most non-optimum skin conditions. 

Chronic inflammation is long-lasting and can be dangerous. You may not even know you have it. According to the Rand Corporation estimates, more than half of Americans suffer from conditions related to chronic inflammation.

While the symptoms of chronic inflammation may not be obvious to many, they include skin disorders, body pain, fatigue, insomnia, mood disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and weight gain. 

A recent scientific breakthrough shows that polyphenols can reduce inflammation without any unwanted side effects. One of the most potent sources of polyphenols is organic olives, which have been found to contain antioxidant potential 15 times greater than green tea.   

A new, natural formulation developed out of the latest research conducted in the field of olive polyphenols can help to reduce the chronic inflammation underlying skin conditions, including acne and Maskne. This formulation, Qgenics Inflammation Relief, is now available in the US.

This new spike in COVID cases has made it clear that the pandemic is not over yet. Since we’re likely to be expected to wear a mask in public for some time to come, here are some tips for avoiding Maskne:

1. Wear a mask made from natural fibers, not synthetics
2. Wash your mask after each wearing
3. Use a detergent without perfume or chemicals
4. Clean your skin after wearing a mask
5. Take Inflammation Relief to reduce any underlying chronic inflammation in your body that could make Maskne worse.
